Shirley,

So this is `footle poetry`!

I`ve been thinking of thinned down down stuff like this as an attempt to strip the clutter of `scientific` rhetoric from some of the wonders that go on around us. (my canal lock thing)

The two syllable - two line form is interesting but - paradoxically - might be too restricting.

Does it always have to rhyme?

Thanks for enlightening me.
